FE Technical Forum / Re: 428 CJ FE Ford Build Ep # 3 .....LINE HONE Part 2

Never noticed his bore gauge was not .0001" just assumed it was from the numbers he was calling out.
I don't have knowledge of the honing process, but Daniel's goal was to bring the block side saddles to the same height/centerline. It did not appear that he enlarged the horizontal bore diameter any.

No pressure from this side. I am the last person to be able to preach on the progress of the car project!

Where are you located? Do you care about casting date?

Mike,
I see you're still active here. What up with the '62 Gal?

I suggest adding more info as there were different styles 1963-68 by Ford, not to mention aftermarket.

Depends. A winter driven car will show some rust due to the road salt that is used to melt snow/ice. Even after 5 years there will be some signs on the chassis/suspension. Probably not much but more than a SW guy like you is used to seeing. Is the car a daily commuter? Garaged nightly? Can somebody put it on a lift and take a hard look at it?

That's cool. So they raced on Saturday? The webcam at the track was down so I wasn't able to remotely monitor what was going on.
The PA DOT webcams looked pretty wet Saturday so thought maybe BSD would use the Sunday rain date.

Not driven in 5 years? That's kind of a shame. You can see from the underside shots that she is not a concours restoration.

Float adjusters? The nuts look thick to me. They are probably contacting the bottom of the air cleaner.

Diogenes,
It started as a factory built 427 car, but not a lightweight. Stories get told, owners change, facts fade.

Diogenes,
No 'factory' lightweights in 1965-66. Ford X garage built a 1965 Galaxie with glass nose but it was modified to run in B/FX, not S/S. This was The "Quiet One" sponsored by Bob Ford.

Also at Mecum Glendale was a restored 1963.5 Galaxie Lightweight:

https://www.mecum.com/lots/1113303/1963-ford-galaxie-500-lightweight/?aa_id=565065-0

Sold for $117,500 plus commission.  Maybe a bargain compared to the BAT Fairlane.

Maybe Atlanta built the 57 R-Codes as a batch? The BaT auction car from 2022 was scheduled 9 calendar days before this current car yet the 2022 car has a higher serial number.

Nice restoration. Warrantee tag on the door is a reproduction. Kinda makes me wonder.
